Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been remiss and forgotten to inform you of one of the highlights of my weekend. Every weekend actually.
True Blood Dinners.
What is True Blood Dinners you say, well its when me and about 10-15 of my closest friends (the usual suspects) get together on Sunday nights at one of our homes cook super delish dinner and dessert for the group and watch Big Brother (don't even judge) and True Blood.
We like to think of Big Brother as our trashy appetizer before the main course. The whole night is really centered around True Blood and the anticipation in the room is palpable.
These festivities began when Zoey, Lissette, Teresa, Vickie and I decided to watch one of the first episodes together and it has since blown up. Its a set date, everyone knows its going down. The evenings chef and location rotates and the coordinates and menu are sent out via Facebook.
Sunday at 7pm people start trickling in and not only do we have True Blood to look forward to but also an amazing night with friends. We've enjoyed everything from Turkey Chili, to chicken fajitas, Make your own pizza night to the latest meatloaf and mashed potatos with red velvet cupcakes for dessert. AMAZING.
The sad part is we only have 2 weeks left but for the finale we'll be gouing out with a bang! We will be purchasing True Blood for the group and having some super yumm accompaniments including monkey bread and ice cream made by yours truly.
We are coming up with a plan to continue Sunday night dinners through the year because its really the one night a week we all get together and catch up. I highly recommend that if you have a show that all your friends love you consider putting something like this together. Not only do you get friends, good food and great tv but you also get a Sunday night buzz going from all the wine. Whats not to love about that?

Jossie, that fucking poster picture is priceless.
UMMM, are we really going to drink True Blood? How? Where? HUH?!
Can't wait!
That sounds so fun! We get together for So You Think You Can Dance. Which is running two seasons back to back and throwing a major wrench in the Thursday night TV plans. Thursdays in the winter are for Grey's, Thursdays in the summer are for friends and SYTYCD. HOW WILL I MIX THE TWO?!?!
I just love having these First World problems.
P.S. Can Bill and Sookie please break up already?
What a great tradition! I'll have to try this with Mad Men.
Whoahhhh who wouldnt want a True Blood night>? Wish I have something like this over here. So awesome!
Awww, that sounds like a great idea. I might have to do this when Always Sunny starts up again...
I had two different sets of friends that I did that with. One for LOST. The other for Dancing With The Stars since my cousin had actually met the hawt Sex And The City dude, Gilles Marini therefore we were obsessed with him. *le sigh*
Awww. You just reminded me of what we used to do at university... which was basically the same! But for 24 and Battlestar Galactica! (Series 1 was AMAZING...)
Ah... to have friends again...
